Nice - not in the retirement - but nice in seeing someone I've worked with do so well with long service.

Retirement is another chapter in one's life. He will do well.

I worked with him when he was the Senior SOCCE O/C at JRTC. He took over from Major Sayre (RIP). It was at the time the first SOCCE manuals were being written.

A lot of good B Teams rotated through at the time showing how SF could help the conventional force. Some TF commanders didn't want to listen - and it showed in their AARs.

As with everyone - your views on him will be based on your interactions with him at a given point and time in his career. Mine were good.
